Hard Times

Next time you see some kids on the bus going on about deep house, while playing something rubbish from the charts, play them this, and explain that this is what deep house really is. As they rain punches down on you, you can also explain how Hard Times in Huddersfield was one of the most important clubs ever, playing deep house and tough garage from the US while most others were buggering about with handbag. Reinvigorating the label with this devastating classic, complete with new remixes from Ralph Lawson & Tuccillo and DJ Spen, you can pop this on on the way to A&E.
